Greetings,

I trained as a harness maker years ago but now have a 'one man and a dog' business making all kinds of leathery things including the odd collar and lead. I've come here to find out about different breeds of dogs as I'll be looking for a pup very soon. My dear old Border Terrier, Mrs Brown, is now more than ten years old (she was a rescue dog so I don't really know how old she is) and needs a youngster around to keep her spirits up!

Hi, I'm Daggre.

I have a labradoodle, and she's great. Fantastic temperment, but then, any dog can with the right training.

If I was you, I'd be looking at low energy breeds, as opposed to something like a collie, because your older dog probably won't want a hyperactive puppy running veerywhere. I mean i think puppies are hyper to an extent but hopefully you know what i mean.

What size dog were you looking at?

just wated to say hi and welcome and good luck wit he puppy hunt

hi and welcome from another border terrier fan, we have 2 girls poppy who is 4, Meg who is 2 and a jrt who is 13 next month. good luck in your search for a puppy, if you are thinking of another border i could possibly put you in touch will a few possible breeders. pip was 8.5 when we got poppy and your right it does give the oldie a new lease of life, better to get one now than wait any longer as it's not fair on an old dog to get a pup if they are very old. we waited until our 17 and 19 year old's went before we got Poppy.

Thanks for all the kind words, folks. I'm almost certainly going to be looking for either another Border Terrier or maybe a rough coated lurcher. Any help or advice gratefully received!
